Best Way to Buy Local at a Chain

Saffron Bread at Harris Teeter

Staff Pick

For more than 25 years, Saffron Bakery has been providing bread and baked goods wholesale to businesses around Charleston — and, of course, they’ve got their downtown restaurant. But if you have trouble making it to East Bay Street for a loaf of nine grain or olive, you’re in luck. Last year, seven Harris Teeters around the area started selling bread and pastries from Saffron, so picking up some sourdough can easily become a part of your regular grocery shopping routine. Buying local just got a little bit easier.
